Milbridge, Maine

Milbridge Maine from the air Milbridge is a small, self-sufficient coastal community with approximately 1400 year round residents. It is the hub for goods and services for the surrounding communities. We have medical facilities, grocery stores, building and contracting suppliers, banking services, restaurants, gift shops, and even a movie theatre.  

Step back in time and catch your breath. There are no traffic lights or traffic jams. This area is virtually free of air pollution  and has a low crime rate. Real estate taxes are reasonable and properties are affordable. There's no greater place to retire seasonally or live year-round! 

We have over 75 miles of irregular shoreline, a class "A" river,  the Narraguagus, which is famous for its Atlantic salmon and striped bass. Visit our public harbor with dock and moorings where it is not uncommon to view seals at play and bald eagles fishing.  Sea kayaking, sailing, boating, and island exploring add to the recreational enjoyment.  

Our comfortable summers with average temperatures of 70 degrees and the gentle sea breeze makes it very pleasant. Winters are cold, but not harsh. Snowfall average is 30" per year. Milbridge is situated on US Rt 1, 30 miles east of Ellsworth, and 45 miles northeast of Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor.  

Visit our proud town. Stay in our service motel, The Red Barn Motel, one of the nearby campgrounds or B & Bs.  Enjoy our two restaurants:  The Red Barn Restaurant and 44 Degrees North (sorry ... no McDonalds nearby). Grab a good cup of coffee at the Chicamoose Cafe or check out Kelley's Flower Shop or grab a movie at The Milbridge Theatre.

Schools: K-8th grade are located in Milbridge.  Grades 9 through 12 are six miles away at Narraguagus High School in Harrington.  The University of Maine is 26 miles away in Machias.
